FAQ


"How much does traveling cost?"

Cost of living(rent, utilities, data/wifi, groceries) is $500 USD per month for most countries, $1000 for most others.


"Health care and insurance?"

Health care and insurance abroad are both pennies on the US dollar for the highest quality of medical care


"What about visas?"

You usually don't need them; when necessary, visas are almost all entirely online: a fifteen minute e-form and nominal fee offset in your first day by the drastically lower cost of living abroad.


"How do you make money while abroad?"

Any job that nets you $500+ a month works. There are almost 2 billion English students globally right now, so native English speakers have lucked into a guaranteed job on or offline.


"What qualifications do I need as an English teacher?"

Some countries and schools require a TEFL certificate or prefer candidates with an associate's degree depending on the position, but if you want to teach English, all you need is to be a fluent English speaker.

I'm looking at flights and wondering what personal experience people have with different indonesian cities.

I’ve been to Bali and Borneo, but spent more time on the Malaysian side of Borneo. What are you looking for? Your photo looks like an idealised version of travel photography that I’ve never witnessed irl. Not an Indonesia thing, but more a nice place photographed at dawn with no people, with perfect light and settings that give an image that don’t represent real world experience.

I'm interested in the experiences travelers have had in Indonesia rather than looking for any one thing in particular. What did you think of borneo? Did you see orangutans or monitor lizards?

I like exploring countries from smaller cities and towns, learning what i can while I'm living there.

It's definitely a nice picture of borobudur, reminds me a lot of angkor wat during sunrise/sunset.
